2006 2.5T petrol MY. Over the last few weeks I have noticed that my fuel gauge was reading zero - with NO red light showing. The mileage "computers" were all showing __.__. All other gauges were behaving normally. After I stopped and came back and restarted - it was reading normally again. I filled up at the weekend and all was fine. I have just been out and it was again reading zero until I stopped, switched off the ignition and restarted - where it went straight up to full.
I cant find much on here relating to this. Anyone any thoughts on where to look - sticky fuel sender (seems unlikely) electrical glitch (more likely?) but where to look. Would VIDA be helpful ? I am not too concerned about it at this stage but would rather know whats causing it and how to fix it.
